Our menu has a range of options to select from, from small munchies to filling main dishes one can indulge in the world of flavours with such a variety.

Our nibbles have healthy options such as olives and corn to classic flavorful spiced and salted nuts. You can start your evening with some sharing plates if you are a meat lover, our charcuterie Plate can be an ideal option since it offers a superb assortment of smoked duck magret, chorizo and coppa.

It can be best paired with some white wine or a Calvados Sazerac to enhance the smoky flavours of meat. Also for cheese lovers our cheese plate is the way to go, it has a luxurious trio of Comte, Crottin d’Antan and truffle cheese that we have wonderfully balanced with crackers, quince and cornichons.  

Our dishes are all about comforting French-inspired food that can be paired beautifully with our cocktails.  Our starters are the perfect beginning to a memorable night. From classic French fries with a twist of truffle to grilled king prawns with saffron aioli that brings juicy seafood to the table to savoury Gougeres, which are warm cheesy puffs stuffed with Gruyere to Egg & Mayo which is a sophisticated take on humble devilled egg, made extra indulgent with crispy shallots fresh chives and a generous garnishing of Comte cheese, every starter can be paired with our wide range of drink options.

The Croque Monsieur is a buttery brioche sandwich with smoky ham, creamy Mornay sauce and melted Gruyere. For meat lovers, we also have French dip which is slow-cooked beef packed in a baguette, served alongside a tasty jus. Tuna Nicoise can be a great choice since it’s a sandwich which can be a good choice if you wish to eat something filling yet light.

Not leaving the vegetarians aside, our Veg Pan Bagnet is a dish with roasted mushrooms, confit butter beans and spicy arugula on bread. You cannot go wrong with our stand-out star of the food menu, Coupette Classic Beef Burger which is a burger with a juicy beef patty, crispy bacon, gourmet chive and tarragon aioli.
